Close to two years ago, both my cats suddenly started to have diarrhea. They are sisters, and their symptoms began two weeks apart. My vet and I began with all the usual -- fecal float test, slow change of food to a hydrolyzed diet, steroids for inflammation, pectin to solidify stool, etc. Initially, we thought we had success and thought food allergy, but no luck; symptoms began to flare after four months of silence. The loose stools were so frequent and worrisome -- we changed foods again to a biome-specific kibble but still no success at alleviating their diarrhea.
So finally, we decided to try Animal Biome -- a company that my vet knew a previous patient had success with years ago. I did the initial gut health test on both the girls and started them on S. boulardii + FOS exactly a year ago today, and along with Animal Biome's other products (fiber, Gut Restore especially), I cannot BELIEVE the success we've had.
Are the poops always perfect? No. Once or twice a month I'll get a stool wrapped in a film of mucus, or slightly soft, but that's it. After a year of all my worry, their weight loss and constant, horrible diarrhea, they are so much better than my vet and I ever thought so. They are stable, and Coffey even gained three pounds in 8 months! Their fur looks better, their tummies are happier, and I'm just in awe of this product and this company. Customer service is always responsive and amazing, the shipping is fast, and best of all, it helped my girls. I'm so grateful for Animal Biome's products.
For anyone that might have trouble getting their cats to eat it on their food, my girls get their powder in capsules daily. It's easy to fill and pill if you need to, though my cats gobble them up after meals like they are treats. If your animal's stools are irregular, just try this product. It saved us.
